VINC CNN L'S, JULY 24, 1830.

The wheat harvest in this country is over, and 1 am gratified, that, so far as mj information has reached, it has been a plentiful one rye and oats have also been good, and arc abundant. Within a few days past, however, I have understood that the weavel is beginning to make its appearance. Church end State This much dreaded anion has taken place at last, as wc liud in the New England Palladium, that JNlr. George State is married to Miss Eveline Church. Mr. Clay. The Cincinnati American says "From the signs of the times, nothing can prevent the Western States, "with the exception of Tennessee, from going for Henry Clay in Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky, he will carry overwhelming majorities." Should he have no better prospects in Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky, than he has in Intliar.a, he may calculato upon at least as os many votes in the coming contest for the Presidency, as he had at the last election in those states, but not more, The Indianapolis Journal says "In some parts of the country, we observe candidates have been called upon to answer among other things, whether or not they approve of the President's veto to the Lexington and Maysville road bill." It may be that such inquiries have been made, but if theyjhave, I have not seen them; and I receive every newspaper printed in the state, with but one exception. 'We have seen no one answer this question in the affirmative." Have you seen any answer to it by any one? 'The truth is, there is no part of this state in which a candidate dare come out in support of the doctrine contained in Gen. Jackson's veto message." Now J can assure the editors of the Journal, that in Knox county, or in the adjoining counties, no candidate would dare to come out in opposition to the doctrines of that message; they are approved here, at least, by the friends of the late, as well as of the present administration. The St. Clairsville Gazette of June 19, says, that "every republican news paper in the state of Ohio, sustains the veto of the President, by which the Trea aury was saved from bankruptcy, and the people from direct taxation. I have been desired to say that Rich ard Beck declines holding a poll for the office of Recorder, at the approaching election. The sales of the Illinois canal lands have exceeded the highest anticipations of the commissioners, and hopes are entertained, that they will be able to commence the excavation of that import ant woik, the ensuingfall. From the Frederick Citizen, THE TAXES REDUCED. When Gen. Jackson was elected President of the United States, it will be recollected, he earnestly recommended to Congress, the propriety of reducin.; the duty or tax on Coffee Salty Molasses, Chocolate, and Tea; several of them he particularly named.- Congress accordingly took up the subject, and have passed a law providing for the reduction of those taxes. The tax on coffee, it is known, is jive cents a pound put on and paid at the Custom house, as soon as it arrives in the country. It will hereafter only be tvit cents a pound, and in the course ol a ear, will be reduced to one tent. Now, every family that has been using at the rate of a pound of coffee a vrcek heretofore, has been paying to the government an actual tax of two dollars and sixty cents a year: which is now to be reduced to one dollar and four cents, and in the course of a year, will be reduced to fifty two cents The tax on salt has been reduced ten cents on the bushel, so that every farmar using ten bushels in the course of a year, will pay one dollar less tax for sup port of government in the article of salt. 1 he duty of molasses has been reduced five cents a gallon; therefore ev- . jry family that uses ten gallons of moll. es in a year pays fifty cents less tax u this article for support of government than heretofore. So, in proportion on Tea, Chocolate, ttc are the taxes diminished thus depriving the govcrment of several millions annually in the form of revenue, but saving to every family in the coun try to these articles, an average tax of several uouars a year. The reason why General Jacks-m se lected these articles particularly-, is be cause they enter into the consumption of every family even the poorest; and in reducing the duties, his plan is to commence with those bear upon the poor. Is this reform and retrenchment in the right sense of ihe word or not? Answer, yc brawling sycophants of Webster and Clay, who hate Jackson, merely because he waj chosen by the free voice of the people. KAMITILLE, JULT 10.
